when you see red lines appear when staring at a barcode; if you don't hear a noise it's visual snow, but if you hear a "beep" then you've been turned into a barcode scanner by a witch

i'm never pronouncing the word wrong, i'm using primer (the paint kind) metaphorically to mean an initial coat of knowledge, such as from a small book or short, informative piece of writing

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 1d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

and you can! Just not in the store

we'll get one and cut it in half and you can climb in it and eat it and then recline in the rind like a hammock with your little rat hands resting on your cartoonishly round belly to indicate that you are now full

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Because of how AI slop works, the real information isn't *destroyed* per-say, like in a fire, but it is buried in an inextricable pile of goo

I will say, the age of streaming has made a in-media-res vexing because sometimes it starts in the middle as a narrative device and sometimes it starts in the middle because someone else started watching it on the same account and you've genuinely just skipped ahead
